Why Windsor Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
With a population of 26,030, Windsor sits inside a steadily growing West California metro that is expanding at about 0.60% annually. The local climate—228 sunny days each year, moderate rainfall averaging 34.25 inches, and USDA hardiness zone 8b—supports year-round landscaping and steady residential construction. That combination of steady growth and favorable weather drives demand for reliable aggregates as homeowners renovate driveways, build raised beds, install drainage systems, and refresh pathways and patios. Homeowners look for quality gravel to control erosion on slopes, improve on-site drainage during seasonal storms, and create low-maintenance, drought-tolerant surfaces that hold up under frequent sun. Regional sourcing matters here: matching local geology helps ensure color, texture, and performance are appropriate for Windsor projects.Popular Projects in Windsor This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Windsor gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Windsor.
A 50 lb bag of gravel covers only a few square feet. At a 2-inch depth it will cover about 3 to 4 sq ft; at 1-inch depth about 6 to 8 sq ft. For larger Windsor projects, buying by the ton is usually more economical than many bags.
The most cost-effective way is to order by the ton from a local supplier rather than buying many small bags. Hello Gravel connects you with nearby suppliers and haulers so you can compare per-ton prices, factor in delivery, and meet our 3-ton minimum if applicable. Picking up material yourself can save on delivery but check truck size and local permits.
Costs depend on local supply, but crushed stone is often priced similarly or slightly lower per ton because it comes directly from quarries and is produced for construction. Natural rounded gravel or decorative pea gravel can cost more. In Windsor, regional sourcing affects price, so check quotes on Hello Gravel to compare options.
Coverage varies by gravel type and compaction, but 1 ton of pea gravel generally covers about 80 to 125 sq ft at a 2-inch depth. Differences come from material density and whether it is loosely placed or compacted. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a supplier estimate for a precise local figure.
Prices for a dump truck load vary widely based on truck size, material type, and haul distance. Rather than listing a fixed price, get a quote through Hello Gravel—our suppliers will show per-ton rates, delivery fees, and the truck type (tri-axle is common). Keep in mind our minimum order and that local factors like Sonoma County haul distance influence cost.
Two inches is generally too thin for a driveway surface in Windsor; it may work for decorative pathways. For a stable driveway you typically want a layered approach: compacted base (gravel or crushed rock) 4 to 6 inches and a 2 to 3-inch wearing layer on top. Local rainy season and occasional heavy loads make a solid base and proper drainage important.
Cost depends on driveway width, depth, material choice, and local per-ton pricing. To estimate, multiply area (length x width) by depth to get cubic yards, convert to tons, and apply per-ton price—Hello Gravel's calculator or a supplier quote will give Windsor-specific pricing. We recommend getting a quote to include delivery and any optional spreading fees.
Crushed recycled concrete, crushed bank-run rock, or locally sourced road base are often less expensive than decorative gravels like pea gravel. These alternatives work well for driveways and utility areas but may not provide the same appearance. Ask Hello Gravel about lower-cost local options and expected color/texture differences for Windsor projects.
A common approach is 3/4-inch crushed stone for the base and a smaller, compactable top layer such as 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch crushed rock. Rounded pea gravel may be used as a top layer for appearance, but it can shift under vehicle traffic unless stabilized. Consider local availability in Windsor and tell your supplier about traffic levels so they can recommend the right mix.
Materials that form a firm surface include crusher fines (very small crushed rock) compacted tightly or gravel mixed with a polymer stabilizer or a cement binder. These options create a more solid, wheelable surface but may require special installation and increased cost. Contact local Windsor suppliers through Hello Gravel to discuss stabilized products and installation requirements.
Locally sourced bank-run rock, quarry screenings, or recycled crushed concrete are typically the least expensive options. Prices vary by the supplier and haul distance from Sonoma County quarries. Hello Gravel can show available low-cost materials near Windsor and factor delivery into the total price.
For a 10x10 area (100 sq ft), a 2-inch depth requires about 0.6 cubic yards, which is roughly 0.8 to 1 ton of pea gravel depending on density. For a 3-inch depth plan on about 1.2 tons. Use Hello Gravel's calculator or request a local quote to confirm amounts and account for compaction and waste.
Pea gravel is decorative and drains well but it moves and can scatter under foot or tire traffic, making it less stable for driveways. It can be uncomfortable to walk on barefoot, difficult to mow over, and may require frequent topping up. For Windsor homeowners wanting a tidy, low-maintenance surface, consider stabilized options or a crushed stone top layer instead.
A well-installed gravel surface can last many years; expect 5 to 20+ years depending on traffic, maintenance, and drainage. High-traffic driveways will need periodic regrading and topping every few years, while low-traffic paths last longer. Regular upkeep—raking, adding fresh material, and maintaining drainage—extends lifespan and reduces replacement cost.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
